Rahul Dravid made a decision that he believed was the best for his team and for India, writes Nirmal Shekar
One of the worst decisions ever arrived at by a captain in the history of Test cricket was, in fact, made by one of the greatest warriors the game has known, a man of gladiatorial courage who possessed marvellous natural leadership qualities. But we had to wait more than two full days — during which a batting miracle of the sort witnessed in Test cricket only once every generation was enacted — to realise that Steve Waugh's decision to ask India to follow on at the Eden Gardens in 2001 was suicidal.
The wisdom of hindsight makes heroes of all of us; it turns us all into modern-day Nostradamuses. You know, we got that right; poor Steve couldn't. What a no-brainer that was!
Indeed, it was all that, looking back. But only because a stylish, laid back Hyderabadi — whose batting, at the best of times, is all gasp-eliciting grace and beauty — chose to seek out his redemptive destiny when India was teetering on the edge of the abyss.
That innings by V.V.S. Laxman, an epic that is unlikely to be matched in a similar situation in Test cricket in India in the near future — and his record partnership with the estimable Rahul Dravid — not only shut Australia out of the match but paved the way for the feisty Harbhajan Singh to bowl the home team to a famous victory.
At The Oval a few days ago, one of the heroes of that believe-it-or-not Kolkata triumph chose not to 'do a Steve Waugh.' Well, Dravid did not win the match for India; nor did he lose it.
Yet, the man from Bangalore — only the second Indian captain in history to win Test series both in the West Indies and in England — has been pilloried for his 'mistake.' It's clearly a case of being damned if you did and damned if you didn't.
It appears that a full-scale investigation is on in every section of the media, as well as in public bars and private drawing and dining rooms, not to speak of college dorms.
You know, Rahul, that was such a foolish thing to have done; even a 10-year old would have got that right. Those Englishmen were down and out with barely a chance, and you threw them a lifeline.
Interesting parallels
Of course, it did appear that Michael Vaughan's team did not have a ghost of a chance of turning things around after allowing India a 300-plus first innings lead. But, then, so it had seemed six years ago at the Eden Gardens for India.
At The Oval, in Kevin Pietersen, England had a batsman eminently capable of matching Laxman's once-in-a-lifetime heroics. And if India's mini-crisis of the second innings — three down for 11 — had come when it was chasing a small fourth innings target, that might have thrown a little more clarifying light on Dravid's decision.
The point is simple: India had bravely taken advantage of its good fortune in the series to make the most of the chances that came its way. After the wretched English summer weather bailed it out of prison at Lord's, Dravid won a very important toss at Nottingham before inserting England on a day when, for the batsmen, the conditions were virtually unplayable.
In the event, to push the team's luck further in quest of a more substantial series-victory might not have been the wisest thing to do.
Sport is a capricious business. Whole matches, and series, can turn on seemingly the most trivial of things. And in this age when there is so much at stake for so many in Indian cricket, a dash of conservatism is never going to hurt a good leader of men.
Many, many summers ago, in the Caribbean, in an attempt to infuse some artificial life into a dead Test match, Garry Sobers set England a sporting fourth innings target of 215 in 165 minutes on the fifth afternoon. Colin Cowdrey's men raced to the finish in style to win the Test and the series.
Over the next few days, Sobers was promptly vilified by the West Indian media.
Imagine what might have happened in India if Dravid had asked England to bat again and by some miracle the home team had managed to level the series. No civilised person who knows sport for what it is — that it is an enjoyable thing only because it is not a matter of life and death — would have wanted to switch on the television or turn to the sports pages of a newspaper for a few weeks.
Surely, Dravid would have become the most unpopular captain in the history of Indian cricket.
The truth is simple. At The Oval, Dravid — an honourable man who has always done the right thing when it comes to his team and country — made a decision that he believed was the best for the side and for India. He is man enough to stand by that.
If only all of us were sporting enough to accept it for what it was…

Poland: OTI Expands Use of Mass Transit Cashless Ticket Machines to Refill Pre-Paid Phone Cards
On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) has expanded the capabilities of the 84 transit ticket vending machines operated by its electronic ticket systems subsidiary, ASEC S.A., for the Mazovia Railway System in Poland.
Integrated oti NFC contactless card readers now allow travelers and commuters to easily use any NFC-enabled credit/debit card or mobile device to recharge their pre-paid phone cards issued by Mobile Network Operators (MNO) in Poland.
Currently supported pre-paid cards include those issued by T-Mobile, Heyah, Play, Plus, Orange, NJU Mobile and Lycamobile. The machines accept traditional credit/debit card and cash payments and will also support oti's new WAVE device that makes any mobile device NFC-capable.
"The intuitive touch-screen interface of our ticket vending machines combined with an oti NFC reader makes the card reloading process extremely quick, easy and secure," said Anat Arazi, president of ASEC. "This new capability also enhances the overall experience of using Mazovia Railway System by making life easier for busy travelers and commuters."
Over the last year, the ASEC automated ticketing network has enabled more than 62 million trips on the Mazovia Railway. The network and railway span approximately 38,000 square miles in Poland, from Radom in the south to Dzialdowo in the north, and from Siedlce in the east up to Kutno in the west, with the city of Warsaw as the central hub.
ASEC's ticket vending machines are located in highly trafficked railway stations or stops and can be used 24x7. The sale of the transaction is facilitated by epay Poland, a division of Euronet Worldwide, a leading global electronic payments provider and distributor. "The convenient locations and easy use of these machines supported our decision to cooperate with ASEC and provide services in its favor," noted Barbara Szewc, marketing manager, epay Poland.
According to Ofer Tziperman, CEO of oti: "This added convenience for ASEC ticketing customers also represents another revenue stream from these ticketing terminals, as well as potentially from other NFC-enabled vending applications."
Revenues generated from this new capability for refilling pre-paid phone cards are included in the estimated $4.7 million transaction fees revenues for the Mazovia Railway System over five years as was announced by oti in April 2013.

General Question
Best practices for notebook information density?
Asked by muhammajelly (547
February 12th, 2013
There are high-density scribblings (think Mentaculus in A Serious Man) and low-density scribblings (think "Will not be graded by number of pages." when actually "Teacher is damn lying lire telling lies.") If there is no one to show your scribbling to which is most productive? Does larger or smaller page size help? How about college vs wide rule vs graph paper vs blank vs…?

Lack of time.

I really want to read Tom Jones, particularly since you're enjoying it so much. I quite like eighteenth-century novels (it's my go-to period after the Victorians).
Out of curiosity, which subplot from He Knew He Was Right did you find tedious? I haven't read it, but I've seen it, and I was wondering if the subplot in question made it to the adaptation.I hope you're feeling better!
You have me wanting to read Tom Jones now almost as much as Clarissa! I actually ordered a copy a few months ago, thinking it was the whole book. But when it arrived, it turned out only to be Volume Two! Boo. :(
Ha! Sorry you're disliking War & Peace! I've had to slow down on it and Les Mis to make room for my other reads, but I should catch up again in March. I think I'm keeping a pretty good pace on Middlemarch.
I feel the same as you about the Bible. I don't feel a pull to really discuss it, but I'm reading it pretty steadily. I'm almost into Deuteronomy. I imagine you're well past that. :)
Thanks for linking me. :) I'm interested in reading your post with your take on the topic, as and if you write it. I'm also curious about your Othello/Trollope post.
Happy week, o! xxLike yourself, I originally approached the Bible read as reading literature and it really doesn't work. It is a religious text and history and has to be treated as such. The literature aspect, I suppose, comes from the influence the King James Version had on subsequent English literature and so the language of this specific translation can be approached from a literary perspective. Favourite verse so far: 'Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph'
2 Samuel, c1, v20
David lamenting the death of Saul. Don't know why it sticks in my mind, something about the denial and fury of grief.I hope things are better now. Apathy is probably the worst feeling out there, especially when it starts affecting things we love.
I can totally relate to wanting books read yesterday. Le sigh. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I can't for the life of me enjoy reading as I used to. Great Expectations seems to be bringing my reading-loving self back, let's just hopes it lasts.Les Misérables was the most powerful book I read last year-I also really liked The Hunchback of Norte Dame-I read Tom Jones many years ago and perhaps your mention will stimulate a reread-the "big" book I am reading now is Vanity Fair-I laughed our loud when Becky through out the Johnson Dictionary she was give by the head of the school when she left

Jul 29, 2013I loved this movie. It has enough twists that you aren't bored or predicting most of the twists. Of course, it has some predictable twists but all movies do. It has its shortcomings but overall, it was a great movie. I would definitely buy this movie.

Feb 24, 2013
Nov 19, 2011The entire idea of the film was great and I thought it started off interesting as well but it just fell apart. Poor acting, Plot takes a huge turn for the worst, and it ends poorly as well.
Feb 3, 2011At start u think its drama, but as movie folds out, it reveals its true "face". Must see on all scales, because of great acting, great script and fabulous directing. Tension is on all the time, and this is just one of those movies that are not welcomed proprely by audience, dont ask me why...7 stars.
Jan 1, 2011i don't know what to say about this movie. and my review must be at least 150 characters long to be submitted and i don't know what to write about this ****
What a waste. Check out "Breakdown" or Aldo Lado's 1971 Italian giallo "Long Night Of The Short Dolls" for a far better treatments of the same subject.
Christensen delivers a low-key performance that is ultimately quite appealing, and he's well matched by the beautiful Alba. Olin brings unexpected depths to what could have been a stock role, and Terrence Howard uses his easy ability to project innate decency to excellent effect.
Awake is short enough (about 85 minutes) that it doesn't wear out its welcome. It's not a good movie but it's silly and lively enough to keep most viewers from dozing off, even if that might be a more profitable use of their time.

This paper is concerned with the possibility and nature of relativistic hidden-variable formulations of quantum mechanics. Both ad hoc teleological constructions of spacetime maps and frame-dependent constructions of spacetime maps are considered. While frame-dependent constructions are clearly preferable, they provide neither mechanical nor causal explanations for local quantum events. Rather, the hidden-variable dynamics used in such constructions is just a rule that helps to characterize the set of all possible spacetime maps. But while having neither mechanical nor causal explanations of the values of quantum-mechanical measurement records is a significant cost, it may simply prove too much to ask for such explanations in relativistic quantum mechanics.

Is it possible to exchange jobs between 2 different Jenkins'? I'm searching for a way to export/import jobs.
Jenkins has a rather good wiki, albeit hard to read when you're new to CI software... They offer a simple solution for moving jobs between servers The trick probably was the need to reload config from the Jenkins Configuration Page. |
Probably use jenkins command line is another option, see https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI
So you can do
It works fine for me and I am used to store in inside my version control system |
There's a plugin called Job Import Plugin that may be what you are looking for. I have used it. It does have issues with importing projects from a server that doesn't allow anonymous access. For Completeness: If you have command line access to both, you can do the procedure already mentioned by Khez for Moving, Copying and Renaming Jenkins Jobs. |
Go to your Jenkins server's front page, click on REST API at the bottom of the page: Create Job To create a new job, post config.xml to this URL with query parameter name=JOBNAME. You need to send a Content-Type: application/xml header. You'll get 200 status code if the creation is successful, or 4xx/5xx code if it fails. config.xml is the format Jenkins uses to store the project in the file system, so you can see examples of them in the Jenkins home directory, or by retrieving the XML configuration of existing jobs from /job/JOBNAME/config.xml. |
In my Jenkins instance (version 1.548) the configuration file is at:
Owned by jenkins user and jenkins group with 644 permissions. Copying the file to and from here should work. I haven't tried changing it directly but have backed-up the config from this spot in case the project needs to be setup again. |
Thanks to Larry Cai's answer I managed to create a script to backup all my Jenkins jobs. I created a job that runs this every week. In case someone finds it useful, here it is:
Simple php script worked for me. Export:

Lewis Hamilton stormed to the pole position for the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix while championship leader Sebastian Vettel missed the front row for the first time in third place and title rival Fernando Alonso had to settle for seventh.
The 2011 race winner Hamilton clocked 1 minute 40.630 seconds in his McLaren on the floodlit 5.554-kilometre Yas Marina course, his second pole there and sixth of the season.
Mark Webber was second for Red Bull in 1:40.978 and his teammate Vettel had 1:41.073 after being on the front at the first three editions of the race, which he won in 2009 and 2010.
Vettel has turned a 39-point deficit on Alonso into a 13-point lead by winning the last four races, in Singapore, Japan, South Korea and India. He has led every lap of the last three races as he eyes a third straight world title.

Far from being tied to the past, Newman's novel challenges the assumptions of the modern reader in unexpected ways. More perhaps than his major works, Newman's fiction reveals the contours of his imaginative life, the range and power of his prose writing, and the wider literary culture which he so often subordinated to his higher vocation or the demands of controversy. Callista's picture of the Christian venture of faith, so close to Newman's own, and the setting in his beloved church of the Fathers in Roman North Africa, make it one of his most characteristic works. Callista is an important text for understanding Newman's lifelong vocation as a Christian apologist, and the the importance for him of the early Church.
About the Author:
Alan G. Hill is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of London and a Fellow of the British Academy.
Posted September 19, 2002
Like very many other readers, I suspect, of the prolific works of John Henry Cardinal Newman, I began nearly five decades ago with one or two ad hoc or specialized works which I was required to tackle in college. In my case the first was THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY needed for a B.A. degree in secondary education. The second was Newman¿s GRAMMAR OF ASSENT, studied for its theory of knowledge and the ¿illative sense¿ in pursuit of an M.A. degree in philosophy. The only contextual reading I did to flesh out these specialist chores was John Henry Newman¿s ¿spiritual¿ autobiography, APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA. **** In recent months, however, while immersed in as many works of Newman across the board as time permits, I have concluded that even education majors who are required to read THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY or musicologists who look at Elgar¿s rendering of THE DREAM OF GERONTIUS would do well first to read some other more imaginative and popular works of the great English churchman. **** People who have never read Newman at all might, I believe, do well to devote a fair amount of the rest of their lives hovering over his myriad-minded texts, many admittedly tough going. For any beginner I recommend that she or he begin with Newman¿s 1855 second novel CALLISTA: A TALE OF THE THIRD CENTURY. Alan G. Hill¿s Notre Dame University Press edition and introduction of the year 2000 is currently the best buy in the market. The follow-on book for any novice student of the Oxford Movement, 19th Century English novels, politics and religion should then be Alan G. Hill¿s edition of Newman¿s earlier novel: LOSS AND GAIN: THE STORY OF A CONVERT. For, one way or another, the seed of every major preoccupation of Newman¿s long life (1801-1890) is sketched in these two novels. CALLISTA is the easier read and a rollicking tale it is!**** Both CALLISTA and LOSS AND GAIN are about religious conversion: a divine call from this-worldly preoccupations to a higher reality revealed by God. CALLISTA sketches such a movement of soul in a 17 year old pagan Greek artisan who becomes Saint Callista after a vicious North African martyrdom in 250 A.D. during the persecution of Decius. LOSS AND GAIN is about the six year search by an Oxford student for a religion less worldly and uncertain than the Church of England of the 1840s. **** CALLISTA¿s hard core readers will be people who take their religion seriously. ¿Christian Romance¿ fans in particular may find Newman¿s classic the greatest ever written in that genre. And that although (contrary to the standard Christian Romance script) the two earthly lovers, Callista and Agellius, find God almost in spite of each other and without bodily unity. When the Christian Agellius seeks the pagan but seeking Callista¿s hand, she rejects him because she had expected he would teach her to love his God. Instead she sees him as using her curiosity about the Christian God as a means to attach her to his own selfish, earthly love. **** On the other hand, it is Agellius¿s copy of the Gospel of Luke read by the proud Greek in prison which finally and decisively makes it evident which God it is her heart has always ached for. Saint Luke led her into ¿the presence of One who was simply distinct and removed from anything that she had...ever depicted to her mind as ideal perfection. Here was that to which her intellect tended, though that intellect could not frame it. ... Here was He who spoke to her in her conscience; whose Voice she heard, whose Person she was seeking for¿ (p. 326). **** The novel is lushly detailed and convincing in other respects: its geographic and political setting in Roman Africa, the clash of pagans and Christians, a plague of locusts, mad frenzy and demonic possession of Agellius¿s free thinking brother Juba and a powerful but rejected case made by the philosopher Polemo to the doomed Callista for standing by her inherited religion and the glories that were Greece. **** Like Newman himself, Callista

Comment | The Nitrate reductase enzyme complex allows bacteria to use nitrate as an electron acceptor during anaerobic growth. The enzyme complex consists of a tetramer that has an alpha, beta and 2 gamma subunits. The alpha and beta subunits have catalytic activity and the gamma subunits attach the enzyme to the membrane and is a b-type cytochrome that receives electrons from the quinone pool and transfers them to the beta subunit. This model is specific for the beta subunit for nitrate reductase I (narH) and nitrate reductase II (narY) for gram positive and gram negative bacteria.A few thermophiles and archaea also match the model.The seed members used in this model are all experimentally characterized and include the following:SP:P11349, and SP:P19318, both E.Coli (NarH and NarY respectively), SP:P42176 from B. Subtilis, GP:11344602 from Psuedomonas fluorescens,GP:541762 from Paracoccus denitrificans, and GP:18413622 from Halomonas halodenitrificans. This HMM also matches PFAM PF00037 for 4Fe-4S binding domain. |

Donald Trump Plummets in GOP Presidential Poll
A month ago, Donald Trump led in the polls, his rapid ascent propelling him past established Republicans like former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. But as fast as Trump rose in the GOP field, he's plummeted even faster, to the point where it seems his presidential aspirations are barely a footnote.
After leading an April survey of the presidential candidates by Public Policy Polling (PPP), Trump has sunk to the bottom of the field in PPP's latest offering, tied for fifth place with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.). Out in front are Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, with 19 percent and 18 percent, respectively.
What explains Trump's precipitous drop? Here's more from PPP:
As Trump got more and more exposure over the last month Republicans didn't just decide they weren't interested in having him as their nominee—they also decided they flat don't like him. Only 34 percent of GOP voters now have a favorable opinion of Trump to 53 percent who view him in a negative light.
Trump really made hay out of the 'birther' issue and as the resonance of that has declined, so has his standing. In February we found that 51% of Republican primary voters thought Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Now with the release of his birth certificate only 34 percent of GOP partisans fall into that camp, and Trump's only in fifth place with that now smaller group of the electorate at 9 percent.
Perhaps the tipping point for Trump was last month's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where Trump was a frequent punchline. It wasn't just the dinner's guest comedian, Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers, who used Trump for comic relief but also President Obama himself, who depicted Trump as a goofy-haired conspiracy theorist. ("No one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than 'The Donald.' And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?") Trump's presidential aspirations still have not, and likely will not, recover.

Manufacturer: NEXUS Magazine Pty Ltd
Author David Hatcher Childress has travelled around the world several times over, but finds one of the most fascinating mysteries of history very close to home - the Olmec culture of ancient Mexico.
The Olmecs were not acknowledged to have existed until an international archaeological meeting in Mexico City in 1942. Now they are slowly being recognised as the mother culture of Mesoamerica, having developed metallurgy, writing and the calendar long before the Maya.
The statuary left behind by these enigmatic people very clearly depict features that seem to indicate residents of the Land of Olman came from Africa, Asia and Europe. Was the narrow isthmus of southern Mexico an important part of a trade route that spanned both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans? Examine the evidence in this fascinating book.

Rock Mafia is an American record production/songwriting team, consisting of Tim James and Antonina Armato,[1] who are credited for writing and producing many pop and rock artists beginning in the early 2000s such as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Aura Dione, No Doubt, Daughtry, Wyclef Jean, Green Day, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, Ellie Goulding, Demi Lovato, David Archuleta, Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice, Hoku, Vanessa Hudgens, Tokio Hotel. Rock Mafia, they have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and over 10 million albums alone in 2007.[citation needed]
Rock Mafia has helped drive many recording artists in the 2000s to stardom, including Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Aly and AJ, Sick Puppies. In addition, they have worked with countless other artists, from the likes of No Doubt, Daughtry, Wyclef Jean, Green Day, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, Ellie Goulding, Demi Lovato, Aura Dione, David Archuleta, Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice, Hoku, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Lucy Hale, Pia Toscano, to Stefano.[citation needed] In late 2010, Rock Mafia released a song featuring James' own vocals entitled "The Big Bang".[citation needed] The song was used as the theme song for the VH1 reality show "Mob Wives."[citation needed] "The Big Bang" music video featured Miley Cyrus and Kevin Zegers and currently has more than 27.7 million views on YouTube.[2] Rock Mafia were reportedly in talks with potential writers and producers to bring the music video for "The Big Bang" to the big screens as a feature film, with Armato revealing on her Twitter that she had been meeting with Tish Cyrus (Miley Cyrus' mother) and Jennifer Todd (producer of Alice in Wonderland and Memento) to work on creating the movie.[3]"The Big Bang" is featured on the video game FIFA 12, which launched in September 2011, and their song "Fly or Die" is part of the soundtrack in FIFA 13.[citation needed] The duo remain on the FIFA 13 soundtrack to have songs in both FIFA 12 and 13.[4] Their song "I Am" featuring Wyclef Jean, Bill Kaulitz and David Correy is part of the FIFA 14 sound track. [5]
Rock Mafia scored a hit in Europe with Aura Dione's hit single "Friends," a song written and produced together with David Jost.[6] A clip showing Miley Cyrus recording vocals over the "Pimps and Hos" track, which has now been renamed to "Morning Sun," has been posted online.[7] Rock Mafia was one of the handful of production teams handpicked by Jimmy Iovine to help coach and record with contestants from American Idol Season 10.[citation needed]

Captain Phillips stars Tom Hanks at the helm of a high-value American container ship held to ransom in 2009 by a handful of Somali pirates. Paul Greengrass (Bourne, United 93) presents us with a film in which many exciting things happen on an actual working ship out in open water – and yet the movie is uncompelling. Greengrass works hard to make the true story believable, down to the rather tedious relay of very technical messages between various stern officials and the Navy SEALs primed to save the day.
But the film never quite has the ring of truth. You continually suspect that Greengrass has used the facts as much as they help and then departed from them. (Why, for example, does the chief Somali pirate speak such good English? If he indeed did, then tell us why.) Cinema has always happily treated history as a mere prop room – but movies that come on very loudly like the truth yet are not resolutely truthful (Zero Dark Thirty, Argo) feel particularly disappointing and corrupt.

This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2011) |
6LoWPAN is an acronym of IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks.[1] 6LoWPAN is the name of a concluded working group in the Internet area of the IETF.[2]
The 6LoWPAN concept originated from the idea that "the Internet Protocol could and should be applied even to the smallest devices,"[3] and that low-power devices with limited processing capabilities should be able to participate in the Internet of Things.[4]
The 6LoWPAN group has defined encapsulation and header compression mechanisms that allow IPv6 packets to be sent to and received from over IEEE 802.15.4 based networks. IPv4 and IPv6 are the work horses for data delivery for local-area networks, metropolitan area networks, and wide-area networks such as the Internet. Likewise, IEEE 802.15.4 devices provide sensing communication-ability in the wireless domain. The inherent natures of the two networks though, are different.
The base specification developed by the 6LoWPAN IETF group is RFC 6282. The problem statement document is RFC 4919.
Application areas[edit]
The target for IP networking for low-power radio communication are applications that need wireless internet connectivity at lower data rates for devices with very limited form factor. Examples could include, but are not limited to: automation and entertainment applications in home, office and factory environments. The header compression mechanisms standardized in RFC6282 can be used to provide header compression of IPv6 packets over such networks.
IPv6 is also in use on the smart grid enabling smart meters and other devices to build a micro mesh network before sending the data back to the billing system using the IPv6 backbone. Some of these networks run over IEEE 802.15.4 radios, and therefore use the header compression and fragmentation as specified by RFC6282.
Thread is an effort of over 50 companies to standardize on a closed-source, royalty-free protocol running over 6LoWPAN to enable home automation. It is to be launched in the second half of 2015[update].[5] The protocol will most directly compete with Z-Wave and Zigbee IP.[6]
As with all link-layer mappings of IP, RFC4944 provides a number of functions. Beyond the usual differences between L2 and L3 networks, mapping from the IPv6 network to the IEEE 802.15.4 network poses additional design challenges (see RFC 4919 for an overview).
- Adapting the packet sizes of the two networks
- IPv6 requires the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to be at least 1280 Bytes. In contrast, IEEE 802.15.4's standard packet size is 127 octets. A maximum frame overhead of 25 octets spares 102 octets at the media access control layer. An optional but highly recommended security feature at the link layer poses an additional overhead. For example, 21 octets are consumed for AES-CCM-128 leaving only 81 octets for upper layers.
- Address resolution
- IPv6 nodes are assigned 128 bit IP addresses in a hierarchical manner, through an arbitrary length network prefix. IEEE 802.15.4 devices may use either of IEEE 64 bit extended addresses or, after an association event, 16 bit addresses that are unique within a PAN. There is also a PAN-ID for a group of physically collocated IEEE 802.15.4 devices.
- Differing device designs
- IEEE 802.15.4 devices are intentionally constrained in form factor to reduce costs (allowing for large-scale network of many devices), reduce power consumption (allowing battery powered devices) and allow flexibility of installation (e.g. small devices for body-worn networks). On the other hand, wired nodes in the IP domain are not constrained in this way; they can be larger and make use of mains power supplies.
- Differing focus on parameter optimization
- IPv6 nodes are geared towards attaining high speeds. Algorithms and protocols implemented at the higher layers such as TCP kernel of the TCP/IP are optimized to handle typical network problems such as congestion. In IEEE 802.15.4-compliant devices, energy conservation and code-size optimization remain at the top of the agenda.
- Adaptation layer for interoperability and packet formats
- An adaptation mechanism to allow interoperability between IPv6 domain and the IEEE 802.15.4 can best be viewed as a layer problem. Identifying the functionality of this layer and defining newer packet formats, if needed, is an enticing research area. RFC 4944 proposes an adaptation layer to allow the transmission of IPv6 datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
- Addressing management mechanisms
- The management of addresses for devices that communicate across the two dissimilar domains of IPv6 and IEEE 802.15.4 is cumbersome, if not exhaustingly complex.
- Routing considerations and protocols for mesh topologies in 6LoWPAN
- Routing per se is a two phased problem that is being considered for low-power IP networking:
- Mesh routing in the personal area network (PAN) space.
- The routability of packets between the IPv6 domain and the PAN domain.
- Device and service discovery
- Since IP-enabled devices may require the formation of ad hoc networks, the current state of neighboring devices and the services hosted by such devices will need to be known. IPv6 neighbour discovery extensions is an internet draft proposed as a contribution in this area.
- Security
- IEEE 802.15.4 nodes can operate in either secure mode or non-secure mode. Two security modes are defined in the specification in order to achieve different security objectives: Access Control List (ACL) and Secure mode[7]

JPMorgan Chase Still Trying to Blame Individuals For Fail Whale-Related Fraud |

Yesterday Was "Relieve Goldman Sachs of Their Legal Exposure" Day |
By: David Dayen Friday August 10, 2012 6:40 am |
Goldman got off for two separate things here, detailed in this contemporaneous report on the SPSCI report: one, the securities fraud elements of lying to their investors and profiting off their lack of disclosure; and two, lying to Congress about it. The Justice Department didn't see a problem with it. So any upstart investment bank looking to make it in the world, you have your marching orders. You have to lie to your investors, take the other side of the bet on the deals you offer them, and when questioned about it, obfuscate and obstruct the investigatory body. That's the way to the top.
Whistleblower Provisions Can Be Applied Retroactively to Employees of Affiliates, Judge Rules |
By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday July 10, 2012 12:20 pm |
A United States judge ruled on Monday the whistleblower provisions passed in the Dodd-Frank law in 2010 could be applied retroactively to protect not only people employed by parent companies but also those working for subsidiaries of parent companies. The expanded coverage thus applies even to cases initiated before Dodd-Frank.
Dimon to Be Contrite Yet Steadfast in Senate Banking Testimony |
By: David Dayen Wednesday June 13, 2012 6:45 am |
JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon faces the Senate Banking Committee in a two-hour hearing scheduled for 10am ET today. He'll be the only witness. Keep in mind that Dimon's JPMorgan Chase has given millions to top-ranking members of the Banking Committee, so anything more than headline-grabbing and grandstanding without a real challenge to Dimon in the wake of the Fail Whale trades would be a bit of a surprise. I discuss his released testimony here and will be covering the hearing.
Volcker Rule Tightening Just the Beginning of a Financial Reform Strategy |
By: David Dayen Tuesday May 22, 2012 11:00 am |
The Fail Whale trades showed that massive, as-yet unregulated risk still exists in our financial system, with the potential to bring down the economy once again and trigger massive taxpayer bailouts. Since the Administration already passed a law that was supposed to deal with that, they're scrambling to restore what little of value existed in those laws.

Live Chat – William K. Black: The Foreclosure Settlement |
By: David Dayen Friday February 17, 2012 11:00 am |
In the aftermath of the foreclosure fraud settlement, and as we look ahead to the working group on securities fraud co-chaired by Eric Schneiderman, one of the best people to look to for answers on how this whole thing could have gone – how it could still go – is William K. Black. The author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One, and a central figure in exposing fraud among both financial executives and members of Congress during the S&L scandal, Black has been relentless on exposing the lax nature of regulation and prosecution during the past decade and more. His latest scoffed at the new task force on securitization fraud.

By: Jane Hamsher Tuesday December 8, 2009 11:50 am |
Before any bill/amendment gets to the floor, it has to go through the Rules Committee, currently chaired by Louise Slaughter. It is Rules that decides what will be voted on and what won't, and it is one of the principle ways that House leadership controls the agenda. As in, "don't worry about electing anti-choice Democrats, leadership will never allow anti-choice legislation onto the floor."

Works on stainless frets, too!All of our tools are suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire, with the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers and Fret Cutters. Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of files or sandpapers.
Three- in- one Fret File By Gaetan from Laval.qc ,canada (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, June 02, 2013 Nice tools!
Gurian fret file By DoC Kildare from Derbyshire, UK (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Nice, ergonomic shape, easy to use. Does what it's supposed to do. My only criticism would be the ease with which the larger blades come out of the handle, but I sorted that by using a washer with the bolt to create a larger area to hold the blade in.
A great tool for the job. By Bolerama from Saskatchewan, Canada (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, December 16, 2012 I had dressed frets with a number of different methods before, but this was my first full fret replacement job. I'm a hobbiest, so I didn't want to spend too much. These files worked great for my situation. Thanks Stew-mac.
great design By Central Coast Guitars from NSW, Australia (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, December 15, 2012 This file is so easy to use and the angled handle is great for getting into tight spots around the body. The wooden grip is comfortable to work with.
3-in-1 file is great! By Bob Long, The Guitar Surgeon from Corpus Christi, Texas (Customer's Reviews) Friday, December 14, 2012 I've used numerous files over my 25+years of guitar repair. I finally broke down and bought a new one of these as the old one I had finally wore out. It's probably my favorite file of them all, except for maybe the offset diamond file. I use these to "rough-in" the fret crowns, go over it with the diamond files, and use the sanding stick with 600 or 800 grit belt before using the micro mesh finishing pads for a high shine. I highly recommend this file as it covers all fret sizes and is easy to use.
Great choice for getting started By Patrick Taylor from Toronto, Canada (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, November 22, 2012 If you're just getting started with building or doing your own repairs, the Three-in-one Fret File is a good choice for getting tooled up. The concave burr surface makes recrowning much easier than doing it by a standard fret file. The handle puts the file a perfect angle for avoiding fatigue. Being prone to carpal tunnel syndrome, this is a major concern for me when choosing tools. While you might want to upgrade to diamond fret files later, if you get more serious, this tool gets you started without being a major cash outlay. I know I will get plenty of use out this. Well worth the price!
Fast and accurate By Dennis M. from East Texas (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, November 08, 2012 Been in the luthier business for 4 decades. Using this tool has cut fretwork down so much it's no longer a major chore to do. The file lines up well. Dresses and crowns with no chatter or deep markes in the frets. Polishing after is almost a thing of the past. Paid for itself with the first use. Great tool to have.
For Set neck By niponz from Thailand (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, September 08, 2012 Work for crown set neck guitar
Versitle and good value By Ray W. from Minneapolis (Customer's Reviews) Friday, August 24, 2012 I've used the three-in-one file on 8 guitar builds for crowning frets after leveling. It does an excellent job, although it is slower than a diamond file - but that may be a good thing because it slows you down on softer frets. You do need to be careful not to start cutting into the fret board next to the frets
Occassional Use By Patrick Patten, Patten Guitars from Fredericton, NB Canada (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, August 08, 2012 If you only do fret work once in a while then this might be the tool for you, especially when working up near the body. Otherwise the diamond fret files have taken over !! But it is still good value for the money for the occassional user.

Abstract: | In this paper ,a mild alcohol-thermal synthesis of nano-BaTiO3 from H2TiO3 and Ba(OH)2 at an Atmospheric Press was systematically studied and the optimized preparation conditions were obtained. When the reaction was carried out at a temperature of 79 ,an atmospheric press for 6h, the moral ratio of Ba(OH)2: H2TiO3=1.0, pH=11, the cubic crystal structure of nano-BaTiO3 was obtained. By comparison with ordinary BaTiO3 ceramic capacitor, the dielectric ceramic capacitor fabricated by nano-BaTiO3 could not only lower sintering temperature from1300 to1150 , but also change Courier point from 130 to 70 , improve dielectric constant from 6000 to 20000,which can satisfy the development of microdevics. |

Aims. We aim to reveal environmental dependence of infrared luminosity functions (IR LFs) of galaxies at z ~ 0.8 using the AKARI satellite. AKARI's wide field of view and unique mid-IR filters help us to construct restframe 8 μm LFs directly without relying on SED models.
Methods. We construct restframe 8 μm IR LFs in the cluster region RXJ1716.4+6708 at z = 0.81, and compare them with a blank field using the AKARI north ecliptic pole deep field data at the same redshift. AKARI's wide field of view (10' × 10') is suitable to investigate wide range of galaxy environments. AKARI's 15 μm filter is advantageous here since it directly probes restframe 8 μm at z ~ 0.8, without relying on a large extrapolation based on a SED fit, which was the largest uncertainty in previous work.
Results. We have found that cluster IR LFs at restframe 8 μm have a factor of 2.4 smaller L* and a steeper faint-end slope than that of the field. Confirming this trend, we also found that faint-end slopes of the cluster LFs becomes flatter and flatter with decreasing local galaxy density. These changes in LFs cannot be explained by a simple infall of field galaxy population into a cluster. Physics that can preferentially suppress IR luminous galaxies in high density regions is required to explain the observed results.

Yesterday, I posted on how to contribute to a project that uses Git. But what if you forgot the last step in that process? What if you started working, making multiple commits, and never created a feature branch for your code? In that case, you would have been committing to the master branch of the repository: a big no-no.
However, all is not lost! You can go back in time, create your feature branch, and move all of your commits over to it from the master branch with only a few commands.
The first two pieces of information you will need are the SHA hashes (basically the commit IDs) for the last commit you made and the last commit before you want your feature branch to start. Note that the earlier commit should be the commit just before the first one of your new branch.
With those two hashes in hand, here are the git commands to move all of your commits over to a new feature branch.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | git branch branchname sha_of_starting_commit git checkout branchname git cherry-pick sha_of_starting_commit...sha_of_ending_commit git checkout master git reset --hard sha_of_starting_commit git checkout branchname |
Here is a breakdown of what's going on above.
1 2 | git branch branchname sha_of_starting_commit git checkout branchname |
First, we create a new feature branch at the point just before we started making all of our commits. Then switch to it.
1 | git cherry-pick sha_of_starting_commit...sha_of_ending_commit |
Here is where the magic happens. In the feature branch, we want to copy all of the commits starting just before our first one (i.e. the point we branched from) through the most recent commit. The "…" here is important! It tells Git to include—in order—all of the commits between the two hashes you specified. This is especially handy if you have made dozens (or hundreds, but I really hope you caught yourself before then) of commits before realizing you needed to branch.
1 2 3 | git checkout master git reset --hard sha_of_starting_commit git checkout branchname |
The last batch of commands switch you back to the master branch, reset the code there to the point from which you branched, and re-checkout your feature branch so that you can continue your work.
That's it! With 6 lines of Git commands and a little initial legwork to look up two SHA hashes, you can easily create a feature branch after the fact.
Have you ever done this? Let me know your horror stories in the comments. Or, if you have suggestions, I'll take those too!

Recorded on June 13, 2012
From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Ernest Istook.
Years of violating the public trust is bogging down a highways bill in Congress.
Since the 1970's, Congress has been diverting hundreds of billions of dollars out of the highway trust fund—even though the money comes from fuel taxes paid by motorists. The biggest diversion is to local mass transit programs—bus and rail systems—that generally move people within a city rather than between cities.
Siphoning a fortune away from highways has wrecked the principle that travelers would pay their own way. Because other transportation takes the money away from roads, our highways fall into disrepair and congestion clogs the roads.
Motorists should not be forced to subsidize rail and transit. But until those users pay their own way, there's no other solution in sight because excessive spending in other areas means there's no free money. The free rides are over.

Re: share with me, your words of wisdom
jay, it is certainly possible. I would caution you to search around and read existing forum threads on what the costs of owning and operating a boat are, including things you may not have considered like liability insurance (the marina may require it) and routine annual maintenance (bottom paint) as well as the ways to check out an old used boat before you even call a surveyor in. And about surveyors as well. Even on a cheap old boat, it may be money well spent.
By all means, pursue it, but just be sure you know what you are getting into before you make the jump.
